Two accepted for Postulancy
The Admission Board met Saturday, January 27, and admitted two men to the
Postulancy program of our Province. They are Daniel Helfrich (left) and Clifford Hennings (right). They are the first members of the Postulancy Class of 2007.
Dan, 31, comes to us from Sandusky, OH. He was born and reared in Litchfield, IL. He attended Eastern Illinois University for three semesters before entering the Navy where he was trained in avionics. Since his enlistment, he has been working in various places with his most recent location being Sandusky. Dan plays the guitar for his local parish and enjoys visiting the elderly in the local nursing homes.
Clifford, 21, lives at his family home in Richmond, TX and commutes to the University of St. Thomas in Houston where he is majoring in Theology. Born in Louisiana, Clifford and his family moved first to Tyler, TX and then to Richmond following his father's employment. He studied for one year at Louisiana State University before transferring to the University of St. Thomas. Clifford loves to write, especially poetry, and discuss theological/philosophical issues.
We welcome Clifford and Dan and look forward to the Admission Board meetings in March and May where other prospective members of the Class of 2007 will seek admission to our Postulancy Program.

I am going to share it with Father Ted (the Franciscan Priest here at St. Francis Hospital) He will love it!!! Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing! God Bless! - Becky B.
